Tools Used

If your iPhone screen is broken, then first we will seal it with adhesive tape so as not to damage ourselves and the phone with small pieces of glass.

Apply several strips of tape until you cover the entire screen area. First of all, this will protect you and the phone from small fragments, and secondly, it will help maintain the integrity of the screen when we get it out of the case.

I highly recommend using goggles and gloves. Getting shards of glass out of the eye is a very unpleasant experience :(

Turn off your phone before starting work.

Then remove the two 3.9mm Pentalobe screws that are on the sides of the Lightning connector.

Use a suction cup to remove the screen module. Place the suction cup on the screen next to the home button and apply pressure so that the suction cup sticks and holds well.

The display module is held in the housing with latches, and is also connected to the motherboard with several cables. One cable is located under the home button, the rest at the top of the iPhone. Your task is to open the iPhone exactly enough so that you can disconnect the cable under the home button.

Do not rush, this procedure may take some time. The display of the iPhone 5S is fixed quite firmly in the case. Do not try to immediately open the phone completely, do not forget about the cable.

As soon as the display is held only on the cables, you can remove the suction cup, to do this, pull the tab on the suction cup, or, if it is not there, lift one edge of the suction cup with your fingernail.

Filming…

Now we raise the display module from the side of the "home" button just enough so that you can disconnect the cable.

Do not lift the screen too high, you may damage the cable or connector. The cable must not be stretched.

Use tweezers to remove the bracket from the connector.

During assembly, install the bracket correctly. The side with the small tooth should be facing down the machine and the side with the two slots should be towards the battery.

Use tweezers to disconnect the cable connector from the connector on the motherboard.

Make sure the connector on the cable is indeed disconnected from the connector on the motherboard. The connector on the motherboard is glued on and can be torn off the motherboard if you're not very careful, but the connector itself will still be connected to the connector on the ribbon cable.

After the home button cable is disconnected, open the phone 90° from the side of the home button, as if it were a hinge at the top of the phone.

During the next few steps, keep the screen up 90° as shown in the picture.

Unscrew the screws marked with circles:

1.7mm Phillips #000 Phillips head screw;
1.2mm Phillips #000 Phillips head screw;
1.3mm Phillips #000 Phillips head screw;
1.7mm Phillips #000 head screw. This screw is not magnetized with a screwdriver. Don't lose it.

It is very important not to mix up the screws during assembly. If you screw in a 1.3mm or 1.7mm screw instead of a 1.2mm screw, you can seriously damage the motherboard and brick your iPhone.

Do not overtighten the screws. If the screw does not go easily, then you may have made a mistake, do not apply force.

Remove the protective screen.

Use a spatula to disconnect the selfie camera and sensor cable connectors.

Keep the screen up 90°. Now disconnect the cable from the display.

During reassembly, the display connector may not fully latch and you will see white lines on the screen when the iPhone boots up. If this happens, unplug the display connector and plug it back in, then restart your iPhone. The best way to reboot is to disconnect the battery for a few seconds.

Now disconnect the touch screen connector.

Now you can remove the screen.

On the back of the screen, remove one Phillips #000 Phillips head screw that holds the home button.

The unscrewed screw is fastened to the train with a clasp with a contact spring. During assembly, make sure that the contact spring is installed, as before, between the screw and the screen.

Bend the train.

Remove two 1.4mm Phillips #000 Phillips head screws.

Remove the bracket that holds the home button.

Slide the "shovel" under the cable coming from the "home" button. The cable is slightly glued to the display module.

Gently move the spatula to the left and right to peel off the cable.

Do not remove the button yet, it is still connected to the display module.

If necessary, remove some of the tape you applied at the beginning from the outside of the display.

Gently press the top left corner of the button from the outside.

Do not try to squeeze out the entire button at once, your task is to release only one corner, and then insert the "shovel" there and pry it off.

The membrane around the button is very thin, if you think it will break now, heat it up a little with a hair dryer and try again.

Remove the button from the display module by carefully prying and bending it with a spatula.

Like this…

Button removed. You may need to transfer the rubber band from your old button to the new one.

Gently peel off the rubber band from the button with tweezers. The rubber is very thin and can be easily torn. If you feel like you might break it, heat up the button with a hair dryer and try again.

A lot of people turn to service centers with one of the most common problems in the iPhone 5 - a broken on / off button (the same button functions as a lock and unlock phone). It is located on the top right side of the iPhone 5.

Apple has opened a special repair program for the power buttons in the iPhone 5. But it is designed for devices with certain serial numbers. The program applies to a number of iPhones released since March 2013. Apple reports that the program has been launched due to the fact that in a small number of devices, the power button may stop working or work incorrectly. The one-year warranty has expired for them, but for devices with certain serial numbers, free repair of the switching mechanism is now possible within two years from the date of purchase.

Whether a particular device falls under the program for extending the warranty period of the power buttons can be found by the serial number of the smartphone in the list on the Apple website. If your device is eligible, repairs can be made free of charge at Apple Service Centers.

If the device does not fall under this program, then it will have to be repaired at the service center at its own expense. In this article, we will consider in detail what could be the cause of the breakdown and possible solutions to such a problem.

Reasons for the failure of the on / off button in the iPhone 5:

Liquid ingress or severe contamination;
Violation of the integrity of the membrane;
Strong physical impact on the button;
Manufacturing defects.

Button failure can look different, regardless of the reason for which the button failed.

There are three types of incorrect operation of the on / off button:

1. The button is not pressed, it is pressed into the body. In this case, the membrane has burst and does not perform its function of pressing the button.
2. The button is pressed, but rarely works and pressing requires a lot of effort. The reason is also in the membrane, but at the same time it is not completely pressed through and still works with strong pressure.
3. The button is pressed, but it does not work. The reason is a malfunction of the loop. Most likely, oxidation appeared in some places, the contacts were broken and the cable stopped working.

In all of the above cases, the on / off button needs to be replaced along with the cable, since the button is not replaced separately. Let's analyze the steps for replacing the on / off button cable.

First of all, you need to completely disassemble the phone

We will show the process of replacing the loop in more detail.

1. First of all, you need to unscrew the two screws near the charging connector.

3. Unscrew the screws holding the metal plates (battery and display connection cable)

disconnect the battery

and disconnect the display cable

5. The battery is strongly glued to the case. Therefore, we will use a metal spatula to lift the battery.

6. Disconnect all cables going to the motherboard

7. General view of the iPhone 5 disassembly stage

8. Now you need to remove the motherboard. Remove all screws holding the board to the case

9. General view of the second stage of disassembling the iPhone 5

10. Now we got close to the faulty iPhone 5 power button cable. First, remove the vibration motor.

11. Remove the screws of the power button cable itself

Please note that the cable is glued to the case!

We change the non-working cable to a new one and assemble it in the reverse order!

Replacing the lock button is not often required, usually as a result of really serious damage due to contact with liquid or mechanical shock, and of course, over time. Due to the above circumstances, the on / off button may cease to function, which, of course, always causes a number of inconveniences to the user. After all, we use it not only to turn off the phone, but also, for example, to take a screenshot of the screen (simultaneously holding it with the central key), set silent mode during a call (single press), reset the call (double press), to go to the desktop , and not in the application (single press during notification). Of course, it is not necessary to be surprised at the failure of the lock button after a couple of years of such intensive use. Contact our masters, and a similar replacement will be made for you within 40 (or even less) minutes!

When you need to fix the top lock button on your iPhone

There are not so many cases when you need to fix the top lock button on the iPhone. The button mechanism can be severely loosened if struck or dropped. If severe deformation occurs, then the cable, which is the connecting bridge between the button and the motherboard, will probably fail. The wear and tear mentioned above over time cannot, of course, be left out. Well, the most unpleasant breakdown is water ingress. The corrosion that has begun spreads at lightning speed through the contacts, incidentally affecting all new parts. In addition, metal pushers can be damaged - and here you definitely can’t do without replacing the on / off button. By the way, in almost 90% of cases, a parallel replacement of the upper cable is, unfortunately, necessary.

moisture ingress - sometimes even condensation can cause a breakdown
manufacturing defect or the use of low-quality spare parts in a previous repair
